actually, years ago there was a long drawn out drama about people in Signal’s team refusing to publish on F-Droid because of “security concerns” in Moxie’s time. IIRC they worked to take down builds on the main repo

you can probably still find the old github threads with the lenghty discussions

I’ve just seen it. I suppose Signal-FOSS has the same signature, since I can choose between the two repos on its F-Droid panel

since when? that’s good news to me!

the alternatives seem to be Molly on the main repo and Signal-FOSS on TwinHelix’s

talk about a n irrelevant comment! you’re informing us you’ve blocked someone, hahaha

I, personally, am taking no offense. I might be feeling more self-concious, tho

You say my likeness is irrelevant, but it did not feel irrelevant to me when I 've seen the post. Not that I assume that what I’ve felt should be relevant to you, I just decided to share these thoughts

If there are such good, explainable reasons to shit on this shitbag, I don’t see how our similarities have any weight

I also hope I didn’t just murder humour

would you worry I’d feel insecure with my appearance, though? should I just avoid these comments when I see them?

what if I lurk here, despise the man and happen to be physically very similar to him?

but if you pirate their movies that’s cool!

that is the way

thanks for sharing that. I went to check and learnt it was used in the Mandalorian. I’m not even a fan of Star Wars, only seen the three oldies from back in the day, and didn’t even like them that much

I think this phrase is being used for longer than that movie exists, but maybe I just got it along the way

but yeah fuck disney!

this is the way

why are so many people going apeshit with marketing and PR? yeah the guy seems to be a sycophant, licking boot to protect his business, while throwing out a couple of unfortunate truths

if or when Trump finally condenses the fascistic and white supremacist tendencies of the US overtly into the regime, would you expect Proton to lead the resistance? maybe Ben & Jerry’s? or some other progressive BS posturing company?

why are we talking about what Proton stands for? it is not a person with ideologies…fuck corporate personhood

people looking for “good companies” is just sad

you know you can help by explaining the error after your remark, right?

Won’t somebody think of the poor CEO’s?!

you probably meant “CEOs” as in referring to the plural of “CEO”. when you use “CEO’s”, you are using a possessive form to refer to a CEO as in “CEO’s lack of dignity” or “a CEO’s rolling head”

this. thank you

this, twenty times

there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it

omg, thank you. i just learnt about the “tags” function that I’ve always assumed worked differently without even trying it

Feeder is a perfectly functional RSS reader for Android, and the only updated and straight forward one on F-Droid when I decided to set up my feeds, and an app I’ve seen suggested on Lemmy several times when there’s mention of RSS…but why doesn’t it have groups? I’ve got my general news mixed with tech news, cluttered in between the rest of it - it does have grouping and it’s called “tags”

this thread made me re-check and there are some new options in there and at least one will let you group the feeds: Read You

EDIT: dumb take

thanks everyone for the feedback. while unaware, I was still using Invidious in Freetube through the setting “Proxy videos through Invidious”. it’s turned off now and working fine

how can i find such “obscure” instances, tho? i’ve always picked one from the Invidious’ website public list and, upon testing, all of them seem slow right now

also, I had forgotten to try Piped, which is working fine

on a side note, I’d never understood why Piped was made, given that Invidious exists, but here it is, in case anyone wants to know

you are free to do as we tell you
